Allan, You might try this, compliments of RubberDucky, hope it works for you. Download About:Blaster Unzip it to your desktop. Fix all random 04's and the random bho in Hijack This. Note: Fixing the R0's and R1's is not necessary. Then run About:Buster. Hit Ok on the first prompt, Start on the second. Then Ok to start the removal. A log will start to form. After the program runs. Save the log somewhere. If a helper at this forum(SWI) asks you for a report, that is what he/she means.

If the fix above does not work - It is because the files that have been removed are noticed by other files and new files are created to replace them. That is why you must boot into safe mode by tapping F8 several times when the computer is first booting. Then run the program. This will cause no processes to start and communicate.For anyone who cares. The program was created in Visual Basic 6. So if there are any errors saying missing a file. Please download the Visual Basic 6 Runtime Files and install them. You can get the at Merijn's page

You need an antivirus. ---jabuck
